I favor “..promoting choice among public schools, much as the Presidents’s Charter schools Initiative encourages.” “The President believes, as do I, that charter schools are a way of bringing Teachers and parents and communities together.”
Hillary Clinton in 1996 and 1998.
She spoke similar words to the NEA recently and was booed so she “evolved” to saying that “for profit” charter schools were bad. in 2005 Brooklyn started a charter school using union employees to prove it too could free itself from its’ own rules, it failed. The education planks of the Democrat party have been panned by Peter Cunning, an assistant secretary in Obama’s education department, saying, the platform “affirms an education system that denies its shortcomings and is unwilling to address them.” He called it “a step backwards that will hurt low-income blacks and Hispanic children.”
It appears she has evolved, pandering to the organizations that do not want to address the results our K-12 system is not producing. Does Trump have a better plan, I have no clue. But we know what HRC wants, more of the same. Shameful.
